Join Laura Gotlin, E-RYT 200 and RYT 500, and Toni Benino, RYT 500, this Fall for a restorative and nurturing weekend in Rhode Island. This retreat is a complete wellness experience created to help you realign physically, mentally and energetically. Through yoga, guided meditation, pranayama (breath work), outdoor exploration, reiki healing energy, home-cooked Ayurvedic vegan meals, and personal free time, you will cultivate deep restoration, relaxation and self-healing.

We will be staying in a beautiful mansion in Portsmouth, RI, approximately 8 miles away from historic Newport. Our home for the weekend has lots of indoor and outdoor space including four decks, a farmer's porch, billiard and shuffle board tables, and an indoor sauna.

At the end of the retreat, you will leave feeling restored and reconnected with yourself and with others.
